Changing Coolant

When you replace the old coolant, take the time to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer, catch tray, and fluid tank. The entire job only takes about a 12 hour when you are prepared with the proper materials and tools. Make sure to dispose of old fluid according to federal, state, and fluid manufacturer's requirements.

To change the coolant:

1.Position the coolant nozzle over the back of the back splash so that it is pointing behind the lathe.

2.Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe and under the coolant nozzle. If you are using the optional hose, connect it to the nozzle and place it in the bucket. Otherwise, you may need to have another person hold the bucket up to the nozzle to prevent coolant from splashing out.

3.Turn the coolant pump ON and pump the old fluid out of the reservoir. Turn the pump OFF immediately after the fluid stops flowing.

Running the coolant pump without adequate fluid in the tank may permanently damage it, which will not be covered under warranty.

4.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

5.Remove the vented access cover from the rear of the right stand, then slide the tank out.

6.To enable the remaining fluid to be poured out in the next step, disconnect the fluid hose from the pump (see Figure 112).

Note: The electrical conduit was purposely left long, so the tank can be removed and dumped out without disconnecting the wires from the pump.

7.Pour the remaining coolant into the 5-gallon bucket and close the lid.

8.Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the tank and then flush it clean. Use the second bucket to hold the waste and make sure to seal the lid closed when done.

Dispose of the old coolant and swarf according to federal, state, and fluid manufacturer's requirements.
